I’m impressed, I have to say. Actually hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very completely happy that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for something regarding this.

This is SUPERB! and works wonderfully. Thanks for your time.
I did have one comment/concern though. I noticed there is now a great amount of white space between the sidebar widget area and the content. I believe this is due to some padding, margin, or maybe the width of the sidebar/content… Do you think you have any design tips or advice to balance this?
Thanks.

this is the same amount of space as would be when the sidebar is in its original right position – just more obvious.
you could try to use one of the browser ‘right-click’ – ‘inspect element’ tools to check that.

Hello, thanks for your post on moving the sidebar tot the left of this theme.

Do you think this is the complete set of changes needed considering the responsive design? E.g. applying only these changes will mean that at very small screens the content will remain at a bigger width and aligns to the right hand side. The menu might also lose its styling.

Hi Clara,
generally, the code is meant for a child theme’s style.css, and you don’t work with a child theme.
you need to be specific where you add the new styles – don’t ignore the @media query.
also, remember to clear the browser cache after any changes to the styles, if you want to see the changed formatting immediately.
